Transcript:
Peter: I really like your sand castle. Jason: Thanks. It's a 1/75th scale reproduction of orthanc, Saruman the white's tower in "The Lord of the Rings". I built it close to the water, so when the tide comes in it'll be just like when Treebeard and the Ents flooded Isengard. I stuck pretty much with the Alan Lee design, but added a few touches of my own, like this seaweed inscribed with the Uruk rune for "S". I'm glad to see you appreciate quality craftsmanship. Peter: Actually, I was talking to those girls. Jason: Oh. girl: Let's give it a door. girl: Ok, where's the front?

I don’t think it’s their sand castle Peter is looking at …

Peter loves girls. Not Lord of the Rings.

I never thought I’d say such a thing out loud, Jason, but it’s not your “twin towers” or “construction” that Peter’s interested in.
You still have to wonder why Peter’s not standing closer to the girls. Taking an opportunity to rub Jason’s nose in the figurative sand?
Biblical joke: In Genesis 2:22 (Hebrew), the relevant verb (about Eve) is “to build”, not “to make”. It is therefore proper to speak of a woman as “built”. :)

That’s because the first woman Lilith was created of dust the same as Adam and thumbed her nose at God and Adam when they insisted she serve them. God’s second try was Eve, built of Adam’s rib so she would be subservient.
Eve was the original Stepford Wife. :)

Dude, if I saw Jason’s sand castle I might fall down in awe. Or ask for his autograph. LOTR nerd here.

I wonder if it’s occured to Jason that, when the tide comes in, it might eat out the bottom of his castle and make it collapse, instead of just surrounding it.

And the blood of his sand castle shall be washed away.

I love it when Jason nerds out to the max and goes on detailed little rants.

Orthanc is the name of the tower. Notice the comma.

On your goComics home page have you made a comics page? If you have you can go up to the comic. Under it should be several buttons. One should be “Add to My Comics”. When you click on that you should see your comics page listed. Click on that. Viola! Not so difficult! (PS, I wouldnt post an email here. It’s not always safe. You should delete it.)

Some compliment Jason thought he was getting from his older brother. Also, looks like Peter doesn’t care about his younger brother’s sand sculpture, he was caring about the girls near Jason. [sigh] Boys (like me).

He should have made all of Isengard (including the walls).
Potrzebie over 15 years ago
Furienna: good for you girl! I plan to raise my kid to be kind and friendly to nerds. Whom knows how the “heathers” feel now over having passed On Stevie Speilberg , Billy Gates or Stevie Jobs?
Second: Did you guys realize that making pro sand castles requires a lot of tools and glue? Yes, they mix elmers’ or something to make that sand stick!

Locally there is a sand castle contest evey year….it has evolved into sand “sculpture” One of the families that always places has a college educated artist on thier team. these are some very complicated detailed pieces

Wow I’m so glad I decided to join UCLICK GOCOMICS.This is so cool and what a change from the news of the day.Relief at long last. ;]
RugerJac over 15 years ago
DarthDanMan: Yes, he should have. And then made Fangorn nearby. How would one make trees…. seaweed and sticks? Ooh, if he’s copying the movie… So, there’s this deep mine where they birth the Uruk-Hai and whatnot. It would be fairly easy to dig a scale mine in the sand. And then, when the tide came in, it would be even cooler. Next time I go to a beach, this is what I shall do.

If Peter would have actually looked at the two sand castles and ignore who made them, he’d probably still be more interested in the pity excuse for a sand castle.

The girls sandcastle oddly resembles what Peter is most likely staring at….. o_O
